At Ronald McDonald House Toronto, caring for the whole family is essential.
When a child is …navigating complex medical care, the journey affects everyone — especially siblings. Far from home and surrounded by unfamiliar routines, they’re balancing emotions, school, and daily life while supporting their sibling.
Kriszella, whose daughter Kursten is receiving treatment for Ewing sarcoma, shares what that separation feels like:
“She would say, ‘I miss my brothers. I want to be with them.’ And being able to stay together… means so much.”
That’s why creating space for normalcy matters. From making new friends, attending school, and joining programs like woodworking, to simply spending time together — these moments help siblings feel supported, connected, and cared for.
Family stays and grows stronger together.

Today on #NationalCaregiverDay, we recognize the strength it takes to navigate a child’s medical journey. …Caregivers show up every day — not only for their child, but for their entire family.
From long days at the hospital to moments of rest in our seven Ronald McDonald House Family Rooms or at the House, caregivers are the steady presence their families rely on during uncertain times. The responsibility they carry is immense, and at Ronald McDonald House Toronto, we’re here to help ease that weight — supporting everyday needs like meals, rest, and a place to regroup, so families can stay close to care and to each other.
For the de Haas family, mother Kyra often stayed bedside with their daughter Navy while she was receiving treatment for a congenital heart defect. She remembers the night she joined her husband, Steven, at the House while Navy was still in the ICU.
“It was rough emotionally, but it was also such a gift to have a full night of rest — to breathe and gather the strength we needed for her recovery.”
Because when caregivers are supported, families stay stronger.

Last week’s Coffee Talk Program brought some Easter cheer and friendly competition to the House 🐣
…
At Ronald McDonald House Toronto, moments like this help families stay together, creating space to connect, recharge, and spend time as a family while their child receives care.
Families raced to find Easter-themed stickers hidden around the House, using plenty of teamwork and strategy along the way. The afternoon wrapped up with colouring, toys, and sweet treats — a small but meaningful break during a time that can feel anything but.
This is what it means to be more than a place to stay. A place to stay together.

After long days at the hospital, something as simple as a meal can make all the difference.
For …Courtney and her family, it was more than food. “Those meals truly saved us.”
When your child is in treatment, everything shifts. Time, energy, focus — it all goes to being there for them. Planning, cooking, and even thinking about meals becomes overwhelming.
At Ronald McDonald House Toronto, families don’t have to carry that alone. In 2025, 28,970 meals were prepared at the House and in seven in-hospital Ronald McDonald House Family Rooms — so caregivers could rest, reset, and reconnect after long days in care.
It’s nourishment, yes. But it’s also relief. Stability. A moment to breathe. Ronald McDonald House Toronto is a place to stay nourished — together. Because when a child is in the hospital, Family Stays.
